Creatures of Chaos Review
📔 Book: Creatures of Chaos
✍️ Author: Julie Hall
⚙️ Genre: YA Fantasy Romance
🧑💻Self Published
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This story gave me total Caraval vibes in the best way. I was hooked right from the start. The atmosphere, the magic, and the sense of wonder pulled me straight in. The trials were a standout for me, each one genuinely challenging rather than quick obstacles to breeze through. I also loved the sharp tension between the FMC and her MMC competitor, it added so much spark to the story.
That said, I have to admit I’m firmly Team Talon. I never quite connected with Becks, even from the beginning, so the love triangle element wasn’t my favorite part. If love triangles aren’t usually your thing, that’s worth noting here. The good news is I’ve heard it’ll be resolved in book two, so readers who feel the same way can rest a little easier.
Overall, this was such a great read. From beginning to end, the story stayed exciting and intriguing, and while the romance was definitely more of a subplot, it still kept me completely invested. I’ll be reading next installment as soon as possible.

Summary From Amazon:
Chaos, the vicious supernatural competition where heroes are born and riches are won.
To most, it’s just an urban legend whispered in the darkest shadows, but that all changes when my best friend drags me into a savage world where vampires, shifters, and fae compete for glory and fame.
As a creature without magic, I’d be a fool to enter Chaos, but the prize—a dagger of untold power—could change my powerless existence. With that dagger, I could wield magic, earn respect, and maybe, just maybe, win the heart of the dragon heir… it’s a risk I have to take.
Now, I’m pitted against beasts in a ruthless battle with no powers, no plan, and an infuriatingly attractive ally who’s just as likely to slit my neck as save it. Every round of Chaos leads me closer to seizing my deepest desires or losing everything.
In Chaos, survival is the only rule. And winning is all that matters.
